PayPal is an e-commerce business allowing payments and money transfers to be made through the Internet. It serves as an electronic alternative to traditional paper methods such as cheques and money orders. PayPal performs payment processing for online vendors, auction sites, and other corporate users, for which it charges a fee. On October 3, 2002, PayPal became a wholly owned subsidiary of eBay. Its corporate headquarters are in San Jose, California, at eBay's North First Street satellite office campus. The company also has significant operations in Omaha, Nebraska, Dublin, Ireland, and Berlin, Germany.

PayPal is an account-based system that lets anyone with an email address securely send and receive online payments using their credit card or bank account. It is the most popular way to electronically pay for eBay auctions and it is becoming a cheap way for merchants to accept credit cards on their on-line storefronts instead of using a traditional payment gateway.

Basically electronic money transfer - you can either load your PP account with cash from your bank account or use a credit card. As a buyer it costs you nothing. Anymore questions, mail me - I have been selling and buying on Ebay for years and probably know as much about PP as anyone!

Its a form of credit that withdraws money from a bank account to pay conveniently for things that you buy on line--just sign up and get started buying.

It is a supposedly safe and secure way to pay for things on the interenet. You sign up at paypal.com.

it's an intermediate form of exchange, a secure site that takes your money and uses it to pay whoever you want.
It's far better than giving out that same info to whoever you're buying from, and is great for online auctions
